THE Senate has sent its own phy-sician to check the health condition of Chief Justice Renato Corona, confined Wednesday at the intensive care unit of the Medical City in Pasig City on Wednesday follow-ing a “hypoglycemic episode.”

Corona, 63, was admit-ted to the hospital, a day after his appearance at his own impeachment trial, due to what Supreme Court spokesman Midas Marquez said was possibly due to a heart attack.

Corona, reportedly a diabetic for the past 20 years, had the “hypoglyce-mic episode” immediately after his nearly three-hour opening statement at the impeachment court.

Diabetic hypoglycemia, a low blood glucose level occurring in a person with diabetes mellitus, is one of the most common types of hypoglycemia seen in emergency departments and hospitals.

BUTUAN City––Senator Aquilino “Coco” Pimentel III has vowed to work for the increase of local gov-ernment units’ share from 40 percent to 50 percent in national tax proceeds generated by the Bureau of Internal Revenue, but also by the Bureau of Customs, Department of Environment and Natural Resources, and other national government agencies.

In a speech during the induction of officers of the Liga ng mga Barangay Kaga-wad of Butuan City at the Butuan Central Elemen-tary School social hall on Saturday, Pimentel said he had filed a bill seeking to amend the current 40:60

Editor: CRIS DIAZ, Email: [email protected] In FocusKoko wants 50% tax share for LGUs

sharing to 50:50 sharing and the need to amend Section 284 of Republic Act No. 7160 known as the Local Government Code of the Philippines of 1991.

According to Pimentel, he has always been “biased” in terms of giving benefits to local governments and officials and has consid-ered it a “duty” to improve and refine according to the times the provisions of Re-public Act 7160 authored and “one of the legacies to the country” by his father, former Senator Aquilino “Nene” Pimentel Jr.

On this score, the solon from Cagayan de Oro City also promised to take up with his Senate colleagues and counterparts in the House of Representatives the call to extend the term

of office of barangay coun-cilmen and the request to raise their benefits as public servants.

Learning that the Liga ng mga Barangay Kagawad of Butuan City is a “non-parti-san and apolitical” grouping of village councilmen in the city’s 86 barangays with 307, 600 constituents based on the 2010 survey of the National Statistics Coordi-nation Board, Pimentel ad-vised the barangay officials to remain non-partisan to get a favorable decision on the clamor to extend their term of office to two years.

Liga vice-president for internal affairs Sofronio Salas said Pimentel, “with his unequivocal support for barangay councilmen and his ‘passion’ to provide benefits to the ‘lowest’ public

servants in the country’s smallest government unit, may well top the senatorial contest in the 2013 election, a reward he fully deserves.”

Pimentel inducted into offi ce the following Liga of-fi cers: Raymond Carabuena – president; Sofronio Salas – vice-president for internal aff airs; Dave Cariaga – vice-president for external aff airs; Cesar Berdera – secretary; Eliona Abejay – treasurer; Hegenio Castañares – audi-tor and the members of the Board of Directors including Carabuena, Salas, Cariaga, Berdera, Abejay, Castañares, Dr. Eleonor Bacus, Contrado Cabarlo, Allan Padla, Vi-cente Rosales, William Aguit, Diosdado Jampac, Ching Iway, Vicente Busico, Danilo Fernandez, Helio Montadas, and Arturo Esguerra.

Balut vendor caught selling ‘shabu’By PJ TREMEDAL

Correspondent

OZAMIZ City––Police and anti-narcotic team arrested a balut vendor during a buybust operation in one of the barangays here over the weekend.

PNP Acting Provincial Director Raul A. Benitez said the joint forces of the PNP Provincial Public Safety Company (PPSC) led by Sr. Insp. Jonan Banas backed by the PDEA Special En-

forcement Team arrested 35-year-old Enny Maestra-do, a resident of Barangay Gango, Ozamiz City.

Benitez said Maestrado is selling balut at night and worked as painter in day-time.

He said the suspect was arrested while selling three sachets of heat-sealed plastic believed containing methemphitamine hydro-chloride, locally known as “shabu” to a police officer, who acted as poseur buyer.

Police authorities re-portedly confiscated from the suspect’s possession the marked money, illegal drugs, two pieces of aluminum foils, and cash worth P970.

On one hand, Benitez commended the team for a job well-done.

“We are on the run against them and proud to say our men is on the go,” he said.

Meanwhile, another sus-pect is charged in court for violating RA 9262 after he

was arrested by virtue of warrant of arrest issued by Judge Edmundo Pintac of Regional Trial Court, Branch 15 in Ozamiz City.

Arrested was Arnulfo Gonzaga, 39, a resident of Barangay Bitoon, Ozamiz City.

Gonzaga has pending case before the local court docketed as Criminal Case 6164 with a recommended bailbond in the amount of P24,000 for his temporary liberty.

THINK a minute.You’ve heard of people

who try to raise their stan-dard of living at almost any cost.

They’ll go without many things to get a higher edu-cation, hoping it will later get them a higher-paying job and career.

Some even move their family to another country to raise their standard of living.

Still others will only let their children marry some-one whose standard of living is the same or higher than theirs.

Many of us spend much of our life working to raise our standard of living in terms of money and status.

Then when we finally reach the standard of liv-ing we want, we still have to work hard to make sure we stay there!

But there are people whose standard of living never changes, whether they

Raise your standard of living

have a lot of money or not. They always enjoy a high

standard of living in their own character and daily lifestyle.

They’re always honest, loving, and kind. They’re quick to forgive others who wrong and hurt them.

They’re in control of their physical desires for pleasure, so they always have great fun in life without hurting their own bodies or other people.

They enjoy real happi-ness and closeness every day in their marriage and with their kids.

You see, the kind of per-

son we are inside is what gives us our real standard of living, not material things or status!

So what kind of char-acter and daily lifestyle do you have?

What kind of marriage and family do you have? What kind of friends?

There are many people who have heaps of money and status, but they have a low standard of living, be-cause of the low level of their own personal character.

T h e y ’re d i s h on e s t , greedy, competitive, and jealous of what other people have.

They gossip and use people to get what they want. They don’t have much love and forgiveness in their heart for people who wrong and hurt them.

There are heaps of rich people who do not possess real love, peace, and satis-faction in their marriage and family!

This is why our Maker is the only One Who can give us the power, honesty, and love we need to raise our standard of living by raising the level of our character.

It’s only when we ask Je-sus Christ to start changing us that we can start enjoy-ing a truly high standard of living.

So why not ask Jesus to take complete charge of your heart and way of living?

It’s only then you can start climbing the ladder of REAL success and satisfac-tion for the rest of your life.

Just Think a Minute.

Why ‘press freedom week?’LOCAL media in Cagayan de Oro celebrates their version of ‘Press Freedom Week’ this week. Actually, the third week of May is also set aside as press freedom week observed by members of the National Press Club of the Philippines. Every year, the month of May is a month for press people around the world. On May 3, the ‘World Press Freedom Day’ is also commemorated around the world.

Former Senator Aquilino Pimentel, Jr. declared the third week of May ‘Press Freedom Week’ in Cagayan de Oro City in an approved Ordinance 1981. Pimentel’s declaration of the ‘Press Freedom Week’ in Cagayan de Oro City was a personal tribute to known and unknown members of the press who rallied behind him during the dark years of Martial Law.

A noted political opposition, Pimentel was among those who fought against Marcos’ Martial Law in 1972. As a political opposition, the Marcos regime incarcer-ated Pimentel in Camp Crame in 1973. He was later on released.

In 1980, Pimentel ran for City Mayor in Cagayan de Oro City. The Commission on Election (Comelec), however, ousted Pimentel while the latter was on of-ficial training outside the country. In his absence, the Comelec declared his defeated opponent who ran as an administration candidate of the Kilusang Bagong Lipunan (KBL) political party. Pimentel was charged with ‘political turncoatism.’

However, the local populace rallied behind Pimentel. Cagayanons held peaceful rallies to protest the ouster of Pimentel as duly elected City Mayor. When Pimentel was on his way home from the United States, the locales tied yellow ribbons at trees and posts in Plaza Divisoria

as a gesture of welcoming him. Aware of the people’s mounting protest, Marcos reinstated Pimentel as City Mayor pending review of the Comelec decision by the Supreme Council.

Unknown to many the ‘yellow ribbon’ mania, which became the rallying color of the nationwide political opposition that ousted former President Ferdinand Mar-cos, originated in Cagayan de Oro City. All the while, as Pimentel struggled to oppose the Marcos dictatorial government, his only consolation was the unwavering support of the local and national press.

Clearly, the press indirectly provided Pimentel an ally who kept watch on him against the excesses of Martial Law. The independent press was Pimentel’s efficient watchdog then.

Barely a year after he returned home, he was charged for allegedly aiding local communist rebels. Pimentel was transported to Cebu City where he was initially confined ‘incommunicado’ at the Criminal Investigation Service headquarters in Camp Sotero Cabahug. Although ‘in-communicado’, this writer was the only member of the press in Cebu City allowed to interview Pimentel at his detention cell at CIS.

This writer was also among those who accompanied in sending off Pimentel on board Trans-Asia when Marcos then ordered him under house arrest in Cagayan de Oro City. Even then, this writer regularly called Pimentel for an interview by phone (definitely tapped by government operatives).

Actually, aside from getting hard copy, the purpose of interviews was to make sure Pimentel was safe and secured. Pimentel may not remember or know me at all – it does not matter. However, I am one of those thankful for his declaration of ‘Press Freedom Week’ in Cagayan de Oro City every May of the year.

Commissioner Biazon under fire!PRESIDENT Benigno S. Aquino III publicly con-firmed a few days ago that Customs Commissioner Rozzano “Ruffy” Biazon will banner the senatorial ticket of the Liberal Party. This means that Biazon, at most, will only serve the post up to September 30, 2012.

But there are those who point out that with the an-nouncement of Biazon’s inclusion in the 13-man LP slate his objectivity as top customs man will be suspect. Will he be able to push the

campaign against smug-glers and be steadfast in refusing “goodwill money” from customs stakeholders, including smugglers?

Hence, the immediate call for him to resign to keep

his hands clean and escape being tempted to be corrupt in order to accumulate suf-ficient funds to finance a senatorial campaign. This early there are talks that he will be replaced by former

Customs Commissioner Alberto Lina of the Hyatt 11 fame. Lina is actually the big boss of former Com-missioner Lito Alvarez at Air 21/Fedex and the Lina Group of Companies.

In our view, it is most unfair that Biazon be asked to quit this early because he only assumed as commis-sioner late last year. He has hardly warmed up his seat. His reform program in the bureau has barely started and here we are

THE issues on poverty have arrested the attention of so many researchers who dealt with a number of studies that resulted to innumer-able theories, methodolo-gies and findings.

For instance, the Global Development Research Center (http://www.gdrc.org/icm/poverty-causes.htm) in its compilation of article on the causes of poverty and related issues presented two types of poverty: Individual and Aggregate.

The former is explained by individual circumstanc-es and/or characteristics of people such as amount of education, skill, experi-ence, intelligence, health, handicaps, age, work ori-entation, time horizon, culture of poverty and discrimination, together with race, sex, and others.

Revisiting family income and expenditures: A better way to understand poverty issues and concerns

When Statistics Speak

Salvador A. Aves, Ph.D, DMSalvador A. Aves, Ph.D, DM

The latter is explained by two types of aggregate poverty theory: case and generic.

According to case theo-ries of poverty, aggregate poverty is just the sum of individual poverty, whereas the generic illustrates that poverty is explained by general, economy-wide problems, such as inad-equate non-poverty em-ployment opportunities, inadequate overall demand (macro problems, macro policy) , and low national income (Less Developed

Country). However, layman’s con-

cept equates poverty with the condition of low or slowly rising income that could not cope with costs that have risen fast or if not faster through inflation and rapid population growth.

This gives people the impression that the levels of income and consumption are critical to determining who is poor.

For Mr. Juan de la Cruz, being poor is knowing ex-actly how much everything costs, because you have to

budget your income against your expenditure.

The quality of poverty estimates relies heavily on the data sources. One of the sources of data for poverty estimation in the Philippines is the Family Income and Expenditure Survey (FIES).

The FIES is the source of detailed information on income and expenditures of Filipino families.

The National Statisti-cal Coordination Board (NSCB) is in charge of re-leasing the official poverty statistics that are based on (per Capita) income data sourced from the FIES.

The FIES is a nation-wide survey of households undertaken by the National Statistics Office. It is the main source of data on family income and expen-ditures.

Total family income includes primary income and receipts from other sources received by all family members during the reference period as par-ticipants in any economic activity (either as laborer, proprietor, capitalist or entrepreneur) or as recipi-ents of transfers, pensions and grants, among others.

On the other hand, fam-ily expenditures refer to the expenses or disbursements made by the family purely

for personal consumption during the reference year.

These excludes all ex-penses in relation to farm or business operations, investments ventures, pur-chase of real property and other disbursements which do not involve personal consumption.

What is the status of the family income and expenditures of Northern Mindanao compared to national figures?

In 2009, the average annual family income of Filipino families in North-ern Mindanao was posted at P165 thousand which was 16.2 percent higher than the 2006 estimated average of P142 thousand.

Similarly the national figure also manifested an increase of 19.1%, that is, from 173 thousands in 2006 to 206 thousands in 2009.

Adjusting to the infla-tion rate between 2006 and 2009, the average annual family income in 2009 posted at P165 thousand would be valued at P98 thousand at 2000 prices.

However, there is a big disparity in the average income between the bottom 40 percent and the upper 60 percent.

The average income for the bottom 40% is 55 thousand while the average income for the upper 60%

is 238 thousand. On the national scope,

interesting but frustrating data on family expenditures reveal that poor families spent 64 thousand annually on the average which is surprisingly two thousand pesos more than their aver-age annual income.

In contrast, families in the upper 70 percent income group spent 224 thousand pesos a year, on the average; hence, could generate savings of 44 thou-sand pesos in a year, on the average.

With regard the North-ern Mindanao data, there is a savings of 43 thousand pesos in a year, on the av-erage, for the upper 60% income group which spent 195 thousand pesos in a year, on the average.

However, in the bottom 40% income group, they spent all what they have earned such that they did not have any savings at all. Nevertheless, combining all income groups, a savings of 26 thousand was noted in 2009.

The 2009 Gini Coeffi-cient was recorded at .4737 in Northern Mindanao down by 1.4 percent from .4806 in 2006. A lower gini coefficient indicates a movement towards a more equal income distribution among families.

It was learned that fl ower was thought to be another Raffl esia schaden-bergiana, a rare and endangered species.

Th e investigation team from the Protected Areas, Wildlife and Coastal Zone Management Service (PAWCZMS), however, discovered that the fl ower is an elephant foot yam or the Amorphophallus paeoniifolius, which is

demanding for him to quit?

I would say that Biazon should be allowed to stay as commissioner, at least, one month before the scheduled October 1, 2012 filing of certificates of candidacy. He should be given little time to prove himself. It is not his sin or fault if get considered by the President for the LP senatorial slate.

We can also understand why Pnoy is adamant in including Biazon in his list. He wants more loyal party members and friends to dominate the adminis-tration ticket rather than have it be a mix of po-litical butterflies. This ex-plains why the LP ticket is composed of lightweights. This include Congressmen Erin Tanada, Sonny An-gara, MMDA Chairman Francis Tolentino, former Isabela Gov. Grace Padaca and TESDA Secretary Gen-eral Joel Villanueva. They will be joined by former party list Congresswoman Rissa Hontiveros Baraquel, retired police general and currently Customs Deputy Commissioner Danny Lim and re-electionist Sen. An-tonio Trillanes III.

Four more are being considered to complete the 13-man LP line up. The list include Justice Secretary Laila de Lima, former Sena-tors Joey Lina, defeated in his 2010 comeback bid as Laguna governor; former Senator Butz Aquino and maybe Transportation Sec-retary Mar Roxas. If Roxas runs and will most likely win hands down, he will be groomed as the next Senate President.

Ranged against the UNA ticket supported by Vice President Jojo Binay, former President Joseph Estrada and Senate top hon-cho Juan Ponce Enrile, the LP ticket looks ripe for a massacre in the 2013 elec-tions. The UNA slate will include re-electionists Sena-tors Koko Pimentel, Loren Legarda, Chiz Escudero, Gregorio Honasan, Allan Peter Cayetano, former Senate President Ernesto Maceda, former Senator Migz Zubiri, Congressmen Joseph Victor (JV) Ejercito, Jackie Ponce Enrile, former Las Pinas Congresswoman Cynthia Villar, Valenzuela Mayor Sherwin Gatchal-ian, businessman Joey de Venecia and Cebu Gov. Gwen Garcia. Makati Con-gresswoman Abigail Binay is being groomed to replace Sen. Allan Peter Cayetano if he decides to join the Liberal Party.

There are those who insist that the administra-tion machinery and the high popularity rating of Pnoy will enable the LP senato-rial bets to win most of the

13 slots up for grabs next year. The trouble, however, is that the UNA slate is a powerhouse team with five incumbents and survey topnotch. Add to it the support of the “three wise men,” with equally high popularity ratings in the persons of VP Binay, Senate President Enrile and former President and Manila City mayoralty aspirant Joseph Estrada. The LP massacre appears a big possibility.

“Unluckily we were not able to talk to the chief jus-tice… but only spoke with Mrs. Cristina Corona and daughter Carla,” Cuevas said. “The stumbling block…is his physical and mental condi-tion …because we are fully convinced he cannot testify… In fact, he cannot even stand up, Your Honor.”

Cuevas said the defense had obtained a medical cer-tificate on Corona’s condition.

On the “alleged walkout,” Cuevas asked for the court to investigate first before condemning him.

Corona’s phyisician said Corona may be ready to tes-tify by Monday, Cuevas said. But Enrile said the court will rule on the matter.

Lead prosecutor Niel Tu-pas Jr. said the prosecution intends to subject Corona to cross-examination.

Tupas asked if the defense will still do a direct exami-nation of Corona to which Cuevas replied “Yes,” and after that, the cross-examination can proceed.

If Corona is willing to return for cross-examination, then perhaps the defense could skip direct examina-tion, Tupas asked. Cuevas, however, insisted he still had to do a direct examination of Corona.

To settle the discourse, Enrile ruled that the de-fense has only until Friday to present its evidence, and by Monday, the oral arguments will start. The court will not hold a session on Thursday.

Sen. Alan Peter Cayetano asked if Corona would present documentary evidence such as bank records to support the credibility of the statement

he delivered before the court on Tuesday.

Senator Francis Escu-dero III asked if Cuevas had possession of the waiver of confidentiality of Corona’s bank records to which Cuevas replied he did not.

Senator Jinggoy Estrada asked if lead prosecutor Tupas was willing to sign a similar waiver that Corona had set as a condition for th eopening of his accounts. Tupas said the prosecutors see Corona’s challenge as a “diversionary move” and they see no need to sign it.

Enrile butted in to reiter-ate the rulings of the court on the deadlines for the oral arguments and the vote on th eimpeachment case.

“Friday at 2 o clock in the afternoon to present your evidence… after that we will consider your case as submit-ted,” he told Cuevas. “Monday oral arguments, and at the latest on Tuesday, the case will be considered submitted for voting. So ruled,” Enrile said.

The court gave one hour each for the defense and prosecution panels to deliver their opening and closing statements, with the time spread among any number of speakers they will choose to represent the panels.

The senator-judges were allowed two minutes each to explain their vote, subject to the decision of the presiding officer for time extension. source: www.pcij.org

told media Wednes-day: ”Early this morning I had a conversation with the Senate President (Juan Ponce Enrile who) gave me a directive, after I informed him that CJ is in the ICU of the Medical City.

“I was given a directive that a Senate official doc-tor be sent to find out the medical condition of the Chief Justice.”

Sotto said he has not yet received word from the Senate physician, Mariano Blancha, on Corona’s real health condition.

Corona was brought at 1 a.m. Wednesday to the ICU where he needed to be monitored closely for the next 48 hours, being a “very high-risk patient.”

During Tuesday’s im-peachment trial, Corona suddenly left the witness stand after his lengthy and emotional testimony over the allegations he amassed US$ 10 to 12 million in 82 accounts.

He said he had “only four dollar accounts.”

Towards the end of his almost three-hour testi-mony, Corona signed a waiver authorizing con-cerned government agen-cies to scrutinize all his bank deposits including dollar.

But he waiver was effec-tive on condition the 188 congressmen who signed the impeachment com-plaints and Senator-judge Franklin Drilon will also sign similar waivers.

Corona then asked to

be excused and left the session hall even without permission from the pre-siding officer, the Senate President.

This prompted a vis-ibly upset Enrile to order the closure of all exit and entry points at the Senate building to prevent the chief magistrate from leaving the premises.

The Chief Justice re-turned to the court room in a wheelchair after an hour.

But the visibly pale Co-rona could no longer return to the witness stand for any cross examination.

He looked faint and light-headed and was un-steady due to hypoglycemia.

Last Tuesday, defense lead counsel Serafin Cue-vas assured the court that Corona will return for the cross-examination, depend-ing on his health condition.

The senator-judges are discussing the latest devel-opment as of Wednesday morning.

Enrile has warned the Chief Justice lead defense lawyers that he will strike out their client’s testimony and decide on the case, based on the evidence pre-sented, if the chief justice will not return to his own impeachment trial. philippine news agency
